The beauty of the beast Robert Pattinson on swapping his vampire fangs for the dark arts of a serial seducer in his new film, Bel Ami.

The world’s favourite vampire is in Berlin for a whirlwind visit and, true to bloodsucking type, Robert Pattinson isn’t eating. Tonight, he will do the red-carpet thing for the world premiere of his new film, Bel Ami, but in the private hotel lounge allocated for this interview — “This is classy,” he comments as he strolls in — he barely makes a dent in the chicken salad he has ordered, despite his professed hunger.

Pattinson isn’t known for playing characters who do much smiling or laughing, either, so the first thing to notice is how readily he does both in person. Decked out in a black-grey ensemble and sporting a new cropped haircut under his black cap, he has barely sat down, with a pack of Camels by his side, before he’s folded up in mirth, talking about the KitKatClub, a notorious Berlin sex joint, and his desire to ­patronise it with his family. Is he joking? I hope not. “I was telling my dad about it last night, and he sounded really into it. ‘I’m coming over — let’s go to the orgy club.’ ”

While promoting "Goon," a film he stars in and co-wrote, Jay Baruchel shared his experiences working for a short period of time on the Manhattan set of "Cosmopolis." Unfortunately for the Pattinson fans out there, according to Baruchel, Cronenberg's next movie might be too strange for them.

For Baruchel, working with Cronenberg — who made a name for himself with horror films — was a dream come true. "Basically, it was that Cronenberg is a hero of mine. I'm a Canadian boy. I love horror. That's all I want to do," Baruchel said. "If you're a Canadian horror fan, Cronenberg's the Holy Grail."

The opportunity for Baruchel came about in a rather mundane way, but his reaction to it was anything but. "I was in Manhattan last year, keeping my lady company, and they called up and were like, 'Hey, do you want to do two days on this new Cronenberg?' I said, 'Yep!' 'Wait, wait. We'll send you the script.' I couldn't care less; what I'm playing is a means to an end. I just want to go and film-nerd-out about 'Videodrome' with him for two days."

The actual experience of working with Cronenberg did not disappoint. "Not only did I get to go and be a fly on the wall for two days and watch one of my heroes do his thing, I actually had the pleasure being directed by him," Baruchel said. "Coolest thing ever."

COLOGNE, Germany – Swiss distributor Falcom has secured all rights in German-speaking Europe for Cosmopolis, David Cronenberg‘s adaptation of the Don DeLillo novel starring Robert Pattinson as a billionaire Wall Street broker travelling on a odyssey through Manhattan to get a haircut.
Colin Farrell was originally slated to play the lead before being replaced by the Twilight star.

Inside the theater at 1:15: "Rob was fantastic. He fell in love with the book & with the character. He's a very talented, very serious actor & insisted, which is very unusual, on working on rehearsing for a whole month." [source]

Christina Ricci is promising Twi-hards a hefty slice of R-Patz pie in new movie Bel Ami... revealing that the Twilight star is naked throughout: “You get to see a lot of Rob in the movie,” she told me at Elle. “Twi-hards? Is that what they’re called? Yeah they will be happy; he’s naked most of the time. I was pretty relaxed about the nudity. I’m pretty happy with who I am now; that comes with age, as you know your body. Like most women, I have bad days but I try to eat healthily and work out and that’s what it’s about.”

Christina: Rob and I had a really great rapport. We were able to joke with each other, be silly on set. We were able to laugh about how awkward and uncomfortable and ridiculous the whole situation was.

Rob: It's nice having 3 really incredibly strong actresses. They're the strongest women as well, it's kind of ... to have to pretend to dominate cause I would never be able to dominate them in real life.

The European Film Market at the 62nd Berlinale was buzzing for Franco-American production The We and the I by Michel Gondry, pre-sold by the Parisian company Kinology. The new film by the director of Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind was filmed last year in New York in the Bronx, and follows high school students on the bus home on the last day of the school year. The film is a sort of study of group dynamics and the evolution of relationships as the bus gradually becomes emptier, and has been acquired in Berlin for several small territories, according to Grégoire Melin, who will unveil footage from the film a few weeks before Cannes,where he will also be counting on Cosmopolis by David Cronenberg, already pre-sold practically everywhere in the world.

Translation of the dubbingNick: It's a wonderful story about a young man with barely any talent but who makes his way towards the French society in the 1890s.

Declan: He is a mini shark in a world of sharks. He's learning to swim with them until he gets to become the biggest one. I thought it was an interesting modern parable.

Nick: It's about a press that invents stories and that's exactly what happens in .... situation in Britain today.

Declan: But at that time phone tappings didn't exist.

Christina: Well, he's seducing them and one of the ways of doing that is to give them what they want.

Declan: These women are all quite happy married in a way which is interesting. But they're ready to do everything for/when it comes to sex which is something that is more male oriented, like we have many many very famous instances recently.

Declan: You hear all lot about women getting undone and ready to abandon everything because they're irreparably attracted by a man who's pretty much worthless. It's intriguing and scary to see people being self-destructed because of this.
Declan: He mirrors what those women want to hear in the dinner scene. He's waiting to hear what they're going to say and then he replies what they want to hear. They think that they charm him and he's charming back at them.source|via
